Inspired by Original Theme: "Circular" (Mainly used for 3.## firmware only)
Neo Circular ShockV3 Preview Image:
Darren: Unable to be converted to modern firmware, wee redesigned this thing from scratch,
making improvements along the way.
Redesigning the circular menu entirely...
Rodney: Increasing the icons from 6 to 8.
Darren: Giving the theme a futuristic/sci-fi vibe
(including a battery icon that goes through the phases of the Moon as the battery depletes).
The moon battery icon idea was ALL Rodney's though!!
The name, 'Neo' means New, 'Circular' refers to/gives credit to the theme that wee took inspiration from,
and 'Shock' is short for Nulshock, which was the font chosen for the theme.
Rodney: The last detail wee added was to have a small planet slide back and forth horizontally when the PSP is USB connected to a PC.
James: The team that put this together (Darren, Rodney and myself) worked very hard to create this theme
and wee three hope you all enjoy it as much as wee do.

You're welcome! This was a great compilation of a few people (and myself).
By the way I love your signature, quotes really drive a person to greatness.
I am drawn to modding every day because of the quote I have as my signature.
It inspires me to keep going, never found any quote better to fit my personality.
I just need a constant reminder that all it takes to do something is to start!
Start and then you just keep putting one foot in front of the other. :)
Wow, it looks very pretty! Great idea to use a circular menu, it looks very futuristic and new. Do you have any tutorials about theme making? I'm also trying to make some but I'm a total beginner. If you have one I'd love to watch and learn. It's such a shame that I have left my PSP at my father's house in Larnaca, I could show you some of the themes I have made.

I am currently working on a tutorial on how to create a custom background that allows you to change the background image and still change the color option to whatever color you wish. (Kinda hard to explain but the tutorial is nearly finished). That will be tutorial #1 and I have many more to come, as I seem to be the only one left who's making themes, lol. Glad you like the theme it's probably the best theme I've made SO FAR. I have one I'm currently rebuilding that should rival that theme. My Pokemon SoulSilver theme and then my Curtain Call Brawl theme are up next! Keep a lookout for both the tutorial AND the themes! As they should be up soon! Also if you'd like to contact me feel free to shoot me a PM I'll be happy to answer! :)
